Expert Reply:
The front-mount hitch that best meets your requirements is the Draw-Tite # 65070.
This will allow you to re-install your skid shield after you bolt on the hitch. I recommend this model also because it offers a higher vertical load capacity of 500-lbs, as compared to the Curt # C31075 which is rated for only 350-lbs. The no-drill installation is shown in the linked video and the clean appearance after installation can be seen in the included photo.
A front-mount hitch is a great way to simplify moving an RV around your garage or yard or for using a hitch cargo carrier. You can also use the front hitch for a 2-inch hitch-type bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR.
